It is a bit late now, but I'd like to know how kobo chose beta testers.
The problem was that my HP Windows 7 machine did not have a bios option to boot from USB. Neither did my other HP running XP. My husband's Dell could do it, but I would have had to get my bum over to a store and buy a card reader, and so on and so on.... Finally I thought to check out a little ASUS netbook hiding in a closet and I was good to go.

There is a beta sign up sheet here. I believe JC contacted some of the folks he had seen in action on MR for this group, as well.

I was probably the least technically advanced beta tester, but I was persistent
